Everything Will Be OK lyrics
Even if I don’t stayEverything will be okayEverything will be okayEverything will be okay (Okay, okay)
Contemplatin’ just who I could’ve turned out to beIf I’d stayed and weren’t heardWhat would amount to me?If I had looked and ain’t foundWould I have founded me?I mean inside, would they loved meNever looked down on me?
They say, you know if you loved herWell then you would have stayedYou could have made a perfect pairThat people wouldn’t tradeTrade for nothing, I did though, I had to chase itFace it, I wasn’t born to live a life basic
They say, you turned your back on usJust to go and be an artistWhat’s a promise anyway when someone breaks it?I bet he finally gets a shot and then he wastes itI bet he don’t come back for us when he makes itAnd if he do it be too late, you gotta face it‘Cause by then there’s someone new you been replaced withOld friends I grew up with, the girl I fell in love withLove or hate me depending on how you judge it
Even if I don’t stay (Even if I don’t stay)
Everything will be okayEverything will be okay(I promise it’ll be okay)Everything will be okay(Okay, okay)
I had to wander, I had to go tread my own pathIf you don’t step through no mud well then it won’t lastThe years pass it’s crazy how they go fastAsk myself questions that you have but you won’t ask
Like, you don’t even come home enoughWhere were you when she was in the hospital, huh?It was only us, and that’s deep, and yeah, I know it cutsBut if it gets you, then you’re weak‘Cause we were here and it ain’t broken us
Still as close and stayed by her side when no one wasLike when she lost her job and everything, how broke we wasWhen she was sick and she needed some taking care ofA fifteen year old shouldered the weightAnd what he was scared of
The worst, I know that you stayed strongDon’t say this enoughBut you made me just as proud as you made MomYeah, you got some anger but I don’t blame you at allI know I don’t call, but you’re my brother, I love you
Even if I don’t stay (Even if I don’t stay)
Everything will be okay (It’ll be, it’ll be okay)Everything will be okay(I promise it’ll be okay)Everything will be okay(Okay, okay)
In that first grade class they came and got meYour mom’s outside, say goodbye now to everybodyU-Haul was waiting with all of her thingsAt least what she could packIn the time my dad’s at work and before he came back
Way too young to comprehend what was happenin’Are we going to grandma’s?When are we comin’ back again?Little did I know that we were leaving him by himselfAnd 10 years would pass before Mom sees anybody else
Just us, in middle school I ain’t understandWho Melissa was and why she wasn’t another manBiased and confused they try to explain but nobody canWanted what I thought was normal, she had another planSuch is life, even if it took time for me to accept itNo longer Dad now, but a woman with whom she slept with
Over the years when a secret was how she kept it
I ain’t get it, admittedly I was skepticI came around, happiness I see’s what you may have foundAnd that’s what’s most importantI don’t wanna see you breaking downI wanna see you smile, I don’t wanna see you make a frownIf she loves you, then that’s all anybody needs maybe now
By ’05 things had gotten worseMoved to the basement, deep depressions a rotten curseHiding in a dark space, her mind and her body hurtsBecomin; more reclusive and the pills should have been alerts
So the worse it got, I became more and more afraidUntil one night, I went into that room, on the floor she laidI shook, she was blue, her skin was cold and she wasn’t breathin’Screamed, Melissa wake up, couldn’t fathom that she was leavin’
Mom and Bro was runnin’ down, I screamed, somebody helpTry pumpin’ her chest, CPR, but it didn’t helpToughest pill to swallow, but we lost, that’s forced reflectionWhile in her life you made her happy, thank you for the blessin’
Even if I don’t stay (Even if I don’t stay)Everything will be okay(It’ll be, it’ll be okay)Everything will be okay(I promise it’ll be okay)Everything will be okay(Okay, okay)
